These days you don't even necessarily need a separate app like F.Lux or Redshift; Windows and Android have similar color-shifting features built-in to the OS. (Not sure about Mac or iOS.)
- iMerNibor 8y agoios does, not sure how good it is though
- maaark 8y agoIDK about iOS, but Android's built-in night mode barely changes anything. Try Twilight.
- icebraining 8y agoIf you have rooted, try f.lux on Android too. Personally, I can't stand Twilight's "orange tint over content".
- spraak 8y agoThere are also other night mode apps that offer other tones. I've been using Blue Light Filter on Android lately and appreciate the level of controls it offers (color temperature, intensity, and screen dim)
- icebraining 8y agoIt's not a matter of choice of colour, the way f.lux removes the blue is different than just adding an overlay (like Twilight and such do), that's why it needs root.
- 21 8y agoBy default, the night mode on my Samsung indeed barely changed anything. But it does have a slider, so I was able to make it much redder.
- Tijdreiziger 8y agoIt might depend on the brand. On my Nokia, the default is yellow enough to be fairly noticeable.
- dingo_bat 8y agoIt's adjustable. At the highest setting it is unbearably yellow.
- beenBoutIT 8y agoThe Android P developer preview has an automatic Night Light feature that works really well.
- NeedMoreTea 8y agoiOS does but is very subtle about the change. f.lux default settings are quite dramatic and turn the screen very red. Something in between seems right to me. One day the weather app will get the outside colour temperature locally and match the OS to it. :)
- dkersten 8y agoThe change on my iPhone (on max temperature) is very noticeable.
- bernardino 8y agoDoes anyone know of any way you can keep Night Shift on at all times on iOS or MacOS? It seems when I turn on Night Shift, it automatically turns off next morning when it's daylight time. I think the same things applies to f.lux on MacOS. I would like for it to be at 1200K at all times but I guess that's not doable and it grinds my ears a bit because you can't do so.
- pktgen 8y agoTry setting a custom schedule from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM.
- workinfunk 8y agoIt's called Night Shift on MacOS.
